This viral chickle recipe features tangy dill pickles wrapped in crispy, golden cheese for the ultimate crunchy, salty, and addictive snack. Ready in under 10 minutes, it’s low-carb, gluten-free, and endlessly customizable for any craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 46 sliced dill pickles (whole, sandwich stackers, or spears)
  • 1 to 1.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Colby Jack, or pepper jack)
  • Cooking spray or oil (optional, for skillet)
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, black pepper, smoked paprika
  • Optional dipping sauces: ranch dressing, spicy mayo, honey mustard, buffalo sauce

Instructions

  1. Remove 4-6 pickle slices from the jar and pat each one dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and allow it to get hot for about 1-2 minutes. Spray lightly with cooking spray or brush with a tiny bit of oil if needed.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese in a thin, even layer, roughly the shape of your pickle slice.
  4. Let the cheese sit undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until it starts bubbling and melting.
  5. Once the cheese has melted but not yet browned, place a pickle slice on top, pressing gently. Let it cook for 1-2 more minutes, until the cheese edges turn golden and crispy.
  6. Use a spatula to carefully lift the cheese edge and fold it up and over the pickle. Flip and cook for 30 seconds more if you want extra crunch on both sides.
  7. Transfer to a plate or wire rack. Sprinkle with your favorite seasoning while still hot. Let cool for 1-2 minutes to crisp up.
  8. Repeat the process for as many chickles as you want, wiping the pan between batches if needed.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces. Eat immediately for maximum crunch.
  10. Air fryer method: Lay cheese on parchment, top with pickle, and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 4-5 minutes until bubbly and crisp.

Notes

Pat pickles very dry for maximum crunch. Use block cheese you shred yourself for best melting and crisping. Don’t crowd the pan—give each chickle space. For batch cooking, keep finished chickles warm on a rack in a 200°F oven. Experiment with different cheeses, pickles, and seasonings for endless variations. Chickles are best served hot and fresh.
